359: Let me take the first step for you.

Everyone turned to look.

They saw a man and a woman flying from the horizon.

When the victims present saw this combination, their nether regions instinctively tightened.

Because they saw that the woman beside the man was none other than the woman captured by Yuan Ji!

They subconsciously thought that Yuan Ji, that son of a bitch, had arrived.

But after seeing it was Su Xiaobai, a hint of disappointment immediately flashed in their eyes.

“Old Goat Demon, your Yao Race’s Yuan Ji dared to abduct my Revered Master; you truly have a lot of guts!” Su Xiaobai gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce, and his Aura surged.

“If I hadn’t received the news and chased him all the way, he wouldn’t have thrown my Revered Master down just to save his life, and my Revered Master would have suffered unknown humiliation!”

Everyone felt the Aura from Su Xiaobai and was slightly surprised; he had actually advanced to the First Realm Peak!

The Goat Demon frowned, “I already told you, our Yao Race is also a victim.”

“Who knows if you orchestrated this yourselves?” Su Xiaobai retorted, shifting the blame.

As soon as these words came out, the other victims who had been bullied by Yuan Ji nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, no matter how deranged Yuan Ji was, he wouldn’t have been so ruthless to his own race.

Thinking this way, it was highly possible that the Goat Demon was feigning injury to gain their sympathy.

“Hmph! I almost fell for your trick. You Yao Race truly have no good people among you!” Shan Gu of the Giant Race said coldly.

“I!…” The Goat Demon couldn’t explain himself.

After all, no one had personally witnessed him being robbed by Yuan Ji three times, and now the trust of other forces in the Yao Race was almost zero; they simply didn't believe his words.

It could be said that this one Yao, Yuan Ji, ruined the image of their entire Yao Race.

“You motherfucker! Chameleon, don’t let me find you, or I’ll cut you into a thousand pieces!” This was the unified thought of the Yao Race at this moment.

Bing Ling subtly glanced at Su Xiaobai; her Disciple’s acting was truly superb. If she hadn’t known the whole story, she might have believed him too.

“Everyone, I have a suggestion.” Su Xiaobai said loudly, “Why don’t we eliminate the Yao Race first? What if they stab us in the back again while we’re trying to clear the East Flower Temple later?”

Everyone pondered, then a glint appeared in their eyes: This plan is feasible!

Feeling the killing intent from the crowd, a Tiger Demon from the Yao Race stepped forward.

Bang!!!

His two heavy fists collided fiercely, and furious snorts erupted from his nostrils. The Aura of a First Realm Peak surged out, like a volcano about to erupt.

“Do you really think my Yao Race is to be slaughtered at will? Even if we are outnumbered, I can still drag one or two of you down with me. Who wants to try?”

His eyes swept over everyone present, revealing a deep domineering Aura.

Everyone frowned and did not step forward.

After all, a Heaven-Grade Source Crystal was right in front of them. No one wanted to take risks. Everyone wanted to seize the opportunity to snatch that Heaven-Grade Source Crystal and would not create new problems at this time.

Su Xiaobai showed disappointment.

As expected, trying to unite the other two forces to encircle and suppress the Yao Race at this time was still somewhat unrealistic.

However, this was also thanks to the Yao Race’s strong attitude and lack of fear.

If they had shown even a little fear, Su Xiaobai estimated that people from all three forces would have swarmed them and divided them up.

Although he failed to bring about a united siege against the Yao Race by the various forces, everyone had already developed a rift with the Yao Race. In the final Heaven-Grade Source Crystal competition, the Yao Race would certainly be targeted by the other forces.

“Alright everyone, the Heaven-Grade Source Crystal is right in front of us. How about we shake hands and make peace, and first clear the first obstacle together?” From the Great Zhou side, a young man in a Daoist robe walked forward with a smile.

He was the one who discovered the East Flower Temple.

Su Xiaobai remembered him; he seemed to be called Immortal Li, from the Xuan Yue Dao Sect, and had once narrowly lost to Li Luo, the First Temple Revered Master.

Immortal Li explained, “There is a primordial spirit guarding inside. I speculate it is the remnant soul of the Eastern Flower Divine Lord. It is almost impossible for us to defeat him with our individual strength alone. Only by working together…”

But before he could finish his words, Shan Gu of the Giant Race rudely interrupted him.

“I don’t believe it. What kind of remnant soul requires so many of us to fight together?” He scoffed.

Immortal Li glanced at him indifferently, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He intensely disliked people who interrupted him.

“If you think you can solo a remnant soul in the Second Realm Early Stage, you can go in now.”

“…I take back what I just said.” Shan Gu wisely chose to back down.

A remnant soul of the Second Realm could swat him to death with one slap.

Everyone’s eyes also showed a hint of solemnity, but upon seeing so many experts present, their hearts immediately relaxed a lot.

The four forces combined had a total of nine First Realm Peak cultivators and four First Realm Late Stage cultivators.

With this lineup, even if the opponent was a Second Realm expert, they were not afraid.

“It seems everyone has no objections then.” Immortal Li smiled as he looked at everyone, flicking his sleeve. “Without further ado, let’s go.”

The people from the four forces looked at each other. Shan Gu and Shan Tou of the Giant Race shrunk their bodies and then stepped into the East Flower Temple together.

Inside the East Flower Temple.

In the majestic and solemn main hall, a throne stood.

Upon the throne, a man sat with his eyes closed, resting. He was clad in armor, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and the Aura emanating from his body was like an immeasurable mountain.

Beside him stood a Green Dragon Crescent Blade, as tall as two people.

He merely sat there, yet he gave off a heavy sense of oppression.

Creak creak…

At this moment, people from the four forces opened the dusty main door, and sunlight streamed in through the gap.

Everyone saw the Eastern Flower Divine Lord, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and their gaze involuntarily moved upwards.

On the throne behind him, there was a crystal emitting a silver-white light. It seemed to contain supreme power, enticing every cell in their bodies.

Heaven-Grade Source Crystal!

A fervent glint appeared in everyone’s eyes, but no one moved. Instead, they exchanged glances, as if saying: You go first.

Everyone hesitated, clearly no one wanted to be the first to step forward.

Just then, Su Xiaobai stepped forward, “Since no one dares to go, then I shall be the vanguard.”

“Brother, there’s no need for this. Let’s wait for those Yao Race people to scout ahead!” Zhao Tiezhu’s face was anxious.

The Yao Race members looked speechless. Did they look like such foolish Yao?

They were already vaguely targeted by the other forces, and they would foolishly go act as cannon fodder for them? Dreaming!

On the Great Zhou side, everyone looked puzzled and worried. Su Xiaobai was their top combat power; there was really no need to take this risk.

As for the other forces, a hint of secret delight appeared in their hearts. Someone willing to scout ahead? That was excellent.

“Someone must dare to lead the way.” Su Xiaobai stood with his hands behind his back, his back to the crowd. “A man’s death may be lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai.”

“Let me take this first step for you.”

With that, he stepped towards the Eastern Flower Divine Lord, his figure tall and resolute.

Admiration secretly rose in everyone’s hearts. This Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard from the Great Zhou was truly a hero.

Even the Yao Race, who wanted to be at odds with Su Xiaobai, couldn’t help but cast respectful glances at him.

Su Xiaobai approached the Eastern Flower Divine Lord step by step.

But just as he was within two hundred meters of the Eastern Flower Divine Lord, the Eastern Flower Divine Lord’s eyes suddenly opened!

Clang!!!!!!

Without any warning, a crescent-shaped blade Aura swept across half the main hall, carrying a chilling Aura.

Su Xiaobai’s body stood rigidly in place.

Gulp…

Slowly, his head fell off, then rolled to everyone’s feet…
